Rewind & React keeps the Halloween spirit going with one of the most stylishly spooky videos of the 2000s: “Heads Will Roll” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Adam and Rob break down this blood-splattered dance party that blends horror, humor, and glitter into one unforgettable fever dream.
Here’s what we’re covering:
- The disco-dancing werewolf that’s part Michael Jackson tribute, part B-movie chaos
- How the glowing stage floor, sequined jacket, and hat pay homage to Michael Jackson’s legendary Billie Jean performance
- The wild use of confetti instead of blood and why it makes the violence feel both playful and surreal
- Director Richard Ayoade’s clever mix of absurdity and art, and how it fits his signature offbeat style
- The subtle commentary on art, performance, and creation: why the band keeps “playing” even as chaos unfolds
- How the synth-heavy soundtrack and 80s horror aesthetics tie back to the Thriller era
Plus, Adam and Rob play a special Halloween trivia round: Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Talking Heads? – – – where disco jackets, big suits, and synthwave confusion collide.
From red confetti to glowing drums, this episode celebrates the perfect balance of style, satire, and scream-worthy fun.
